At the Center for Liberal Arts, students have the opportunity to cultivate greater historical understanding, improved critical thinking and more articulate modes of individual expression through Webster University's Global Citizenship Program. Our multidisciplinary faculty supports the development of working methods and lines of inquiry that are both exploratory and innovative in character.

Global Cornerstone Seminars

Entering students begin their Global Citizenship Program (GCP) coursework with the Global Cornerstione Seminar class (code: GLBC 1200), formerly known as First-Year Seminar. Taught by faculty from a wide range of disciplines, the seminars introduce students to some of the problems and methodologies of scholarly inquiry they will confront and develop throughout their studies.

Knowledge and Skill Areas

In addition to GCP-coded courses within their own major field of study, students take coursework in the fields of philosophy, sociology, history, literature, science and the arts in order to strengthen their understanding of specific knowledge areas and skills sets essential to developing critical, creative and innovative ways of approaching pressing contemporary issues.

Global Keystone Seminars

To further integrate theory and practice and better prepare students for real-world problems, students complete their GCP coursework with a Global Keystone Seminar, a unique opportunity to apply the kind of multi-disciplinary, integrative learning methods so central to a liberal arts education.
